Service areas:

Little Rock, AR

Out Of The Woods was established in early 2007 by experienced rescuer Kathy Woods along with Shawn Schouweiler and fellow friends in rescue who wanted to fill a need for a different kind of rescue; a need in where they believe that all domesticated animals regardless of their size, breed, color or situation deserve to have a loving home. We rescue our pets primarily from the rural areas of Arkansas, some are abandoned and/or abused. We rescue from animal "hoarders" or collectors who take in more than they can possibly care for, sometimes in the hundreds. We promote efforts to spay and neuter all pets; one of the ways we do this is by assisting in finding low cost sterilization to families in rural areas with limited incomes. We must stop the needless breeding that occurs when families cannot afford to properly care for their pets. We also focus on helping independent rescuers who take in and then care for "stray" pets until an adoptive home is found.

Adoption Policy

Adoption Process Adopting from OOTW requires: 1. Cat or Dog - Adoption Application Placing animals in new homes is a responsibility we take seriously. We want the BEST chance of success possible and the adoption application gives us information about you as a pet owner, so that we can insure the pet you pick fits into your environment. Please take time in choosing a pet. All pets need a loving, secure home with proper food, water, shelter, exercise and medical care; they also need companionship and supervision. Take into consideration the cost of food and health care as well as the time you have available to spend with your new companion. Consider the needs of the animal as well as your own. We may request that you take a 24-hour thought period to carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages of pet ownership. Our foster parents have spent time with each pet, in a home environment, and we make our decisions based on the individual needs of EACH specific animal. 2. An Interview We process the applications as quickly as we can, but we are all volunteers who have full time jobs so sometimes it can take a couple of days before someone contacts you. If you have not been contacted within 48 hours (not including weekends and holidays) of completing an application, please contact us at: contact@ootwrescue.org 3. A Cat or Dog Adoption Contract OOTW has invested a great deal of financial and personal resources into the care, treatment and placement of the pets we rescue and OOTW makes that commitment to the pet for life, we expect no less from the adoptive family. Pets are confused by drastic changes in their homes, lifestyles, etc. Their habits may change with each new owner. PLEASE ALLOW AT LEAST 30 DAYS FOR ANY ANIMAL TO ADJUST TO A NEW HOME. You are new to the animal and they are not sure where they are or how long they will be there. 4. An Adoption Donation Fee We charge a minimal adoption donation of: $150.00 for dogs $100.00 for cats The cost of rescuing a pet is costly and unfortunately, it is unrealistic to expect that the cost and care of each pet rescued by OOTW will be off-set by donations. It is for this reason that an adoption donation is required. The adoption donation is always lower than our initial costs. Pet ownership is not only a life time commitment but a financial commitment as well, and if you are unable to afford the adoption donation, then chances are you will be unable to afford care for the pet if it falls ill or needs immediate medical attention. We accept cash, personal checks, and PayPal. What's Included in the Adoption Donation Fee: * Some or all vaccinations * heartworm test (if age appropriate) * microchip and microchip placement * a spay or neuter If age and health permit, we spay or neuter and vaccinate all pets prior to adoption. OOTW does whatever it takes to ensure that the pets we rescue are at the best possible health prior to adoption. Out of state? No worries, we have excellent transportation options! Transportation costs for out-of-state adoptions is additional and not included in the Adoption Donation Fee. Pet Adoption * You must be 18 years or older * Adoption fee: $150 for Dogs, $100 for Cats * Adoption applications must be filled out prior to meeting pet. * Home visit may be required depending on the pet's history. * You must provide the name of your current or potential veterinary clinic and they will be contacted as a reference. * All members living in home must meet pet prior to adoption.
